It is, indeed, almost,impossible to suppose that the EMPEROR of RUSSIA can have been so fascinated by his connexion Stith Buot4PAkTE, as that he should not view the attempts of the Corsican upon Spain hoth•with-in dignation and alarm. The situation of the King of Spain,' with regard to IitIONAFARTE; was riot very dissimilar 'from that of the Emperor of Russia's ; the sing of Spain was the Ally of 4voliafiaTz, so i s .the Emperor 'of Russia—The King of Spain had lacritleed the interests of hit J spbjeas ' and plunged • - „ their) into 4 most unjust War, merely to promote the ambitious views of .LUONAPARTE; -$0 the Emperor of and unless his Tin Aerial - TSlajesty be dull of apprehension}: indeed, he nut be dmvinced that BuontAwiktgrwould not he iitate;whenever it suited Ids - purpose',tbiat4 towards him as he has clung, towards the Ic.i6g of Spain, and Advise him to abdicate his Throne, and et joy the 6ailifort's of private life in France. without besitatip. It • may be said that the world is sufficiently ap prized of s litloN APARTE'S Condna,.and that therefore such a Manifesto is not necessary ; but it would-be proper to tell the Tyrant, in the face of all mankind, what he is, for the delicacy with which be has hitherto been treated, notwithstanding alibis atro- Cities, be has imptited to, fear, and helms therefore proceeded with increased confidence. .We may be sure that the open language of those Proclamations, which do so much honour to the talents as well as to, the spirit/ of the Spanish Nation, have made .a strong impression wherever•they.have found circula , tion-; and as it,would he impossible for him to deny one of the damning charges Which- might be urged against him, in such a Manifesto as we haverecom `mended, we sincerely hope that the measure will be adopted" The opecatton of such a document might be striking upon the French people, in spite of all the terror _under which they groan. To-live at the mercy of such a selfish Vsiirper, stained with all manner of crimes, and without one qualifying vir, toe," is so despicable a state, that, when the Tyrant is exposed in his full bulk of enormity, France her self might be induced, by - one resolute etibrt, to ' throw off her disgraceful fetters. , • • Her MAJESTY and the PansicFssis have been hic4hly entertained at the races at - Egham, where the Dukes Of Yoal and Ci_iltgNCE presided as Stewards of the races.
